She won the Shanghai leg of the 2015 Diamond League Race yesterday, ThisDay reports.

Sources say Okagbere’s win was effortless, as she beating last year’s world leader, Tori Bowie.

“My race was pretty good,” Okagbare said after the race. “It is not easy to compete with the best of the world – but I won. I focused on my start. Normally I don’t have the best start, but now I was leading from the beginning,” she said.

Congrats to Blessing!
